Alright fellas, here she is! Had fun buildin it, even more ridin it. Didn't use the fork I intended to (bent); just stuck with the original for now. Other than that, everything went smoothly. Hope you dig it, cuz theres a lot of nice rides around here!

and after.
AAAArgh! Alright, well, the clear coat started to bubble on the tank plate, so I decided somethin had to be done, couldn't just ignore it. :x I ended up strippin all the clear and unfortunately the right "Ruby" side also, wich sucks cuz I really liked it. Think I cleared it too soon, and the stain hadn't completely dried so it was cracking the gold leaf. oh well... So it came time to decide whether to re-do the lettering or try somethin new altogether, and since I've never been a fan of repetition, had to do somethin new. So I decided on a sacred heart with Ruby over it- It's got her name and kinda balances out the other image, being on opposite ends and whatnot. Sorry bout the sorry pics- just wanted to update it... hopefully its at least a lateral move.
